The show was amazing! My first Wilco show. I've been trying to see them for years now but they've always managed to avoid me (or me them) for some reason but what a great first show this was. The Pines was a really intimate outdoor place. We got there about 20 minutes before the Autumn Defense set and walked right to the front, in front of Jeff. Great view of everyone on stage and the sound was still pretty good where we were standing (except for when Jeff was playing some loud electric parts, we'd get a little blown away by his amp). Everyone was in great spirits. Highlights for me were "Via Chicago," "Misunderstood," "Walken" and "Let's Fight," and the "Far, Far Away" final encore. Going into the show, I was hoping they wouldn't play too many A Ghost Is Born tracks but I thought those were some of the most rockin' of the night, especially "Hell Is Chrome" and "At Least That's What You Said" (which is being played at bbqs across the country).

Can't wait to hear the recording!

the webcast is up on Wilcoworld now. Sounds awesome!

to those looking for an acoustic amp, they are a bit of a waste of money. They sound very fake and cheesy I think. You'd be better off purchasing a small PA like this which offers more channels and versitilty. Also, it won't color the sound nearly as much as an acoustic amp would.

So maybe something like

 

guitar -> a/b/y pedal (set to Y)

 

a -> direct to PA

 

b -> Holy Grail (max reverb) -> volume pedal (usually set to off) -> PA

 

so when he steps on the volume pedal he gets the heavy reverb mixed on top of his dry signal?

word, that's what I'm talking about.

oh. I had no idea the moog could make that kind of sound. cool!

I was under the impression that is was the EH Holy Grail Reverb that he somehow controlls using a volume pedal. In the deleted scens from I Am Trying To Break Your Heart, when Jeff is playing "Wait Up" He's clearly using a volume pedal to control the wetness of the effect but it sounds like a Holy Grail (which usually is controlled with the one knob on the effect).

my 212 deville is too loud for me - can anyone recommend a good one speaker amp (pref tube) with lower wattage? I want something that starts breaking up fairly low - i've heard that deluxes are good....also, i think i'm gonna trade in my 212 deville, so probably something under 500 would be good. any ideas?

The fender blues jr. and little brother the pro junior are probably perfect for you. Very Similiar tone to the deville but much lower wattage and one speaker. I'd like to own a pro becaure they are so tiny and sound so good. Plus, if you are playing a club or whatever, you can always just mic it to achieve the right amount of stage volume. And they're cheap!

Haven't been playing electric much lately (its too much to carry in NYC) so usually its just my acoustic into the board and then DI
